CAMP Biology
Unit 10: Evidence of Evolution (7A, 7B)

1/22 – 2/6

Stage 1 – Desired Results
Enduring Understandings (s)/goals: / Essential Question(s): / Student outcomes (objective):
EU1: Explain evidence for evolution through different mechanisms such as homologous structures, similarities in DNA, and embryology. / EQ1: How have organisms changed over time? / 7A(R) Analyze and evaluate how evidence of common ancestry among groups is provided by the fossil record, biogeography, and homologies including anatomical, molecular, and developmental.
EU2: Explain how fossil records show periods or rapid change, periods of stasis, and gradual time over time. / EQ2: Is change gradual or sudden? / 7B(S) Analyze and evaluate scientific explanations concerning any data of sudden appearance, stasis, and sequential nature of groups in the fossil record.
Stage 2 – Assessment Evidence
Performance Task(s) and Other Evidence:
Formative / Summative
7A / Evidence of Evolution Stations / Unit 10 & 11 Exam
7B / Punctuated vs Gradualism
7A,7B / Evidence of Evolution Quiz
Stage 3 – Learning Plan
DIFFERENTIATION
SCAFFOLD: vocabulary definitions, natural selection causes evolution (giraffes), causes of adaptations are mutations
ACCELERATE:PREAP – creative writing – evolution of humans in the year 3000
GROUP: 7A manipulative stations, fossil activity
